You know politics is all about advancing your agenda when there is no common ground.
EVERY time its either "He was WONDERFUL" by the republicans and "He was AN IDIOT" by the democrats....
i guess you cant really trust either one to give you a valid opinion.

The Democrats and the Left did as much to smear the Reagan Presidency, and look just how much honors were heaped upon Reagan during his funeral.
Bush is a mover and shaker. Such people do inspire strong emotions. Which is a far cry from the vanilla Administrations of George Senior and Bill Clinton.
Dammit.

Yes, he certainly is.
He has given the American economy so much "shaking" that it is on life support.
http://www.fightforthefuture.org/bushrecord/bush_jobs.cfm
In the eight years before George W. Bush became president, the American economy added 21 million jobs.
During President Bush’s first three years in office, America has lost roughly 3 million jobs. President Bush is the first President in more than 50 years whose economic policies have cost America jobs.
In 2000, the year before Bush took office, the federal government posted a $127 billion surplus. In just three years, that surplus was erased. On the 10-year horizon, the CBO projected cumulative deficit is $855 billion -- the largest deficit in American history.
Personal bankruptcies are at record levels. Personal bankruptcies rose 10 percent in FY 2005, to total 1,748,421, up from 1,584,170 in FY 2004. This is the largest number of personal bankruptcy filings ever reported for a 12-month period.
In 48 of the 50 states, jobs in higher-paying industries have given way to jobs in lower-paying industries since the recession ended in November 2001. Nationwide, industries that are gaining jobs relative to industries that are losing jobs pay 21% less annually. For the 30 states that have lost jobs since the recession purportedly ended, not only have jobs been lost, but in 29 of them the losses have been concentrated in higher paying sectors. And for 19 of the 20 states that have seen some small gain in jobs since the end of the recession, the jobs gained have been disproportionately in lower-paying sectors.
To save corporations and employers money, Bush proposed new overtime rules that would eliminate overtime pay for millions of workers. As part of his proposal, Bush tells employers that by cutting workers' pay rates, they can require workers to work more hours for the same pay.
The United States posted a record annual budget deficit of $374 billion in fiscal year 2003 compared with $158 billion the prior year. President Bush's 2005 budget will project that the recently enacted Medicare prescription drug program will cost about one-third more than previously estimated: $540 billion over ten years, instead of the previous estimate of $400 billion. The Bush budget also estimates this year's deficit at $520 billion, higher than the $477 billion figure the Congressional Budget Office released a few days earlier.

Really?!
Judging from the other political heroes of yours pictured in your sig, I'd have thought you'd give him an 'A'.

Cheney and Bush are so wrong in their world view that it will take at least a generation to clean up the mistakes they've made and the messes they've created. As true absurdists, they are oblivious to the truth of their failures. They used phony intelligence to create the imminent "threat" of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and now 100,000 Iraqis and over 1700 Americans are dead. The occupied nation remains in chaotic insurrection. The Iraq war bill will hit $400 + billion soon and we're not one bit more secure as a result. We are more despised than ever in the Arab-Muslim world and the State Department reports terrorism and the number of victims has risen sharply.

Gee....I wonder how much more fucking abominable an act he'd have to commit to earn an A+ from you.............maybe, hack a pregnant woman to death on live teevee and eat the fetus?

Oh yes, absolutely............
...yet dropping a nuclear weapon on another country and slaughtering a few million totally innocent men, women and children merits your giving GWBush an "A" grade.
I don't know which is greater; your ignorance, your callousness or your hypocrisy.

A wise decision on your part.

I've already been bashed, I see what kind of persons you are, and I think it's better if I don't go there. You cannot take anything I say and try and listen, and you can tell your opinion (except for some people who would like to have a mature conversation about it)...it has to be I'm wrong, and you're right, so therefore I won't start a conversation.

I believe that many here have come to believe (as I have) that you're 100% troll.
It's hard to imagine anyone proposing --with any seriousness-- something as preposterous as Bush dropping a nuke on Iraq...........even a wet-behind-the-ears 19 year old whose heroes include Pol Pot and Stalin.
